HEAR yeh HEAR yeh....

We got some really great news the other night...Sophie had her initial hearing screen done the last night in the NICU and she passed in the left ear and referred in the right ear!! She hears !! She hears !! What an amazing gift. Mommy already knew she could hear me because she response to our voices but to have it in writing!! Ahh words can't express how beyond happy I am to know she has hearing! Hey one ear in better than none! We already knew she was going to need a A further hearing exam so we are just tickled that she passed with "normal" earring in the left ear. So I am ok with knowing she may still have hearing complications. We won't know the extent of her earring in the right ear until later. but what a joy to know my baby can hear the world's sweet music, laughter, and mommy and daddy's voice! This little girl keeps giving me small gifts I will treasure all the days of my life! Even though this isn't perfect news it is definitely GREAT news for us. Brace for the worst and hope for the best..to us this is beyond wonderful news! Also, we are officially all moved and settled into the infant ICU. I am really liking our new digs! Semi-private space, tv, more visitors, food, room, and Sophie has a big girl bed that makes her look like she shrunk;) I think we will like it here. More play time and more focus on getting home... It will stil be a long road there but none the less we are making BABY steps!
